MaryBelle and Family:

I am very sorry to hear of your Aunt's passing. I know that even though it's been a really tough burden on you with her care and worrying about what was best for her, that you will truly miss her! I never met her, but I know she was a lovely lady just from the things that you said about her.

Just remember that she's in a better place now and won't have to suffer anymore. Let that be a comfort to you.

May God Bless you!

Mrs. Everett was a great teacher. Among my memories of her are: (a) a disk she employed to demonstrate circle circumference at pi times diameter, (b) a paper bag kept in her desk in anticipation of students with hiccups, and (c) popsicle money when I visited the jewelry store as a small child. She was a member of a saintly profession that molding the character of many malleable and grateful students. I was fortunate to be clay for her to sculpt into mathematical competency.
